-- Islamist Adel Al-Qassar commented in progressive Arabic daily
Al-Qabas under the title "When the Moderation Doctor Speaks"(11/26):


"The American and Western media play a big role in falsifying and
twisting facts. This is because the majority of those in control of
the Western media are Jews and Zionists harboring the utmost hatred
and disdain for Islam, Muslims and Arabs."

-- Liberal anti-U.S. Abdul Latif Al-Saqer editorialized in
pro-government Al-Seyassah under the title "Seeking an American
Voice"(11/26):

"The United States is suffering from a steadily growing problem.
Opinion polls are echoing what is being published in newspapers in
the forms of headlines and commentary. Hostility and animosity have
become the norm for public and elite opinion the world over. Many
[Arab] nationalist leaders have achieved victory in elections
through an anti-American platform."
